how to restore default settings in Microsoft Word?

[Michael Zoontjens]

Because of trouble with settings in Word i would like to restore ALL default
settings of it.

I work with Windows XP, and Microsoft Office 2003.

How should i do this?

With Word closed, rename your normal.dot template as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm, and delete your
Word data key as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm (except that in Word
2003, the registry key is
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data). This should
return almost everything to Word's original settings, except for your custom
AutoCorrect and dictionary entries.
